Ladder Into Blue Static

Ade Ogunleye

Created 28 June 2026 at 21:10

Cyan brushwork dominates this cropped composition, where parallel strokes cross a diagonal spine to suggest scaffolding, ribs, or the side of a vessel seen at close range. The lines thicken and loosen as they descend, losing their discipline in a tangle of split ends and pooled colour. Ade Ogunleye uses that dissolution deliberately, letting structural logic fray at the edges while the cool, electric blue holds the whole thing together.
